warning! safety first

The following safety warnings must be observed at all times:

■ Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be performed by an authorized

DEI dealer.

■ When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a command signal from the remote control

transmitter. Therefore, never operate the system in an area that does not have adequate ventilation. The fol-

lowing precautions are the sole responsibility of the user; however, authorized DEI dealers should make the

following recommendations to all users of this system:

1. Never operate the system in an enclosed or partially enclosed area without ventilation (such as a garage).

2. When parking in an enclosed or partially enclosed area or when having the vehicle serviced, the remote

start system must be disabled using the installed toggle switch.

3. It is the user's sole responsibility to properly handle and keep out of reach from children all remote

control transmitters to assure that the system does not unintentionally remote start the vehicle.

4. THE USER MUST INSTALL A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR IN OR ABOUT THE LIVING AREA ADJACENT

TO THE VEHICLE. ALL DOORS LEADING FROM ADJACENT LIVING AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR PAR-

TIALLY ENCLOSED VEHICLE STORAGE AREA MUST AT ALL TIMES REMAIN CLOSED.

■ Use of this product in a manner contrary to its intended mode of operation may result in property damage,

personal injury, or death. Except when performing the Safety Check outlined in this installation guide, (1)

Never remotely start the vehicle with the vehicle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle with the

keys in the ignition. The user will be responsible for having the neutral safety feature of the vehicle period-

ically checked, wherein the vehicle must not remotely start while the car is in gear. This testing should be

performed by an authorized DEI dealer in accordance with the Safety Check outlined in this product instal-

lation guide. If the vehicle starts in gear, cease remote start operation immediately and consult with the user

to fix the problem immediately.

■ After the remote start module has been installed, test the remote start module in accordance with the Safety

Check outlined in this installation guide. If the vehicle starts when performing the Neutral Safety Shutdown

Circuit test, the remote start unit has not been properly installed. The remote start module must be removed

or properly reinstalled so that the vehicle does not start in gear. All installations must be performed by an

authorized DEI dealer. OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE STARTS IN GEAR IS CON-

TRARY TO ITS INTENDED MODE OF OPERATION. OPERATING THE REMOTE START SYSTEM UNDER THESE

CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY. IMMEDIATELY CEASE THE USE OF

THE UNIT AND REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE INSTALLED REMOTE START MODULE. DEI WILL NOT BE HELD

RESPONSIBLE OR PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS.

installation points to remember

IMPORTANT! This product is designed for fuel-injected, automatic transmission vehicles only. Installing it in a standard transmission vehicle is dangerous and is contrary to its intended use.

■ Please read this entire installation guide before beginning the installation. The installation of this remote

start system requires interfacing with many of the vehicle’s systems. Many new vehicles use low-voltage or

multiplexed systems that can be damaged by low resistance testing devices, such as test lights and logic

probes (computer safe test lights). Test all circuits with a high quality digital multi-meter before making con-

nections.

■ Do not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-coded radio. If equipped with an air bag, avoid

disconnecting the battery if possible. Many airbag systems will display a diagnostic code through their

warning lights after they lose power. Disconnecting the battery requires this code to be erased, which can

require a trip to the dealer.

■ Check with the customer on status LED location.

■ Remove the domelight fuse. This prevents accidentally draining the battery.

■ Roll down a window to avoid being locked out of the car.

■ Test all functions. The “Using Your System” section of the Owner's Guide is very helpful when testing.

■ When testing, don’t forget that this system is equipped with Nuisance Prevention Circuitry™(NPC™). NPC can

bypass trigger zones, making them appear to stop working. See the Nuisance Prevention Circuitry section.

■ Review and complete the Safety Check section of this guide prior to the vehicle reassembly.

after the installation

before beginning the installation

deciding on component locations

Some things to remember about mounting the siren:

■ Keep it away from heat sources, such as radiators, exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, and heat shields.

■ Mount it where a thief cannot easily disconnect it, whether the hood is open or shut. Both the siren and its

wires should be difficult to find. This usually involves disguising the wire to look like a factory harness.

■ We recommend against grounding the siren to its mounting screws. Instead, we recommend running both the

red and black wires into the passenger compartment and grounding to one common point for all devices. After

all, both wires are the same length and come already bonded together. Whenever possible, conceal your wires

in the factory harnesses or in the same style loom as the factory.

■ When possible, place the siren on the same side of the vehicle as the control module, where its wires will

reach the control module’s wires without extending them. Always run the wires through the center of a

grommet, never through bare metal!

■ Point the siren down so water does not collect in it.

Some things to remember about where to mount the control module:

■ Never put the control module in the engine compartment!

■ The first step in hot-wiring a vehicle is removing the driver's side under-dash panel to access the starter and

ignition wires. If the control module is placed just behind the driver's side dash it can easily be disconnected.

■ When mounting the control module, try to find a secure location that will not require you to extend the har-

nesses’ wires (they are 1.5 meters long). Keep it away from the heater core (or any other heat sources) and

any obvious leaks.

locations for the control module

locations for the siren

■ The higher the control module is in the vehicle, the better the transmitter range will be. If you put the control

module under a seat or inside a metal dashboard, range will diminish.

Some good control module locations: above the glove box, inside the center console, above the under-dash fuse

box, above the radio, etc.

Some things to remember about where to mount the shock sensor:

■ Never put the Stinger

in the engine compartment!

■ Find a spot close to the control module so that the wires do not need to be extended. Keep it away from the

heater core (or any other heat sources) and any obvious leaks.

How the Stinger

is mounted is the most important factor in its performance. We recommend two methods:

■ Using double-sided tape or hook-and-loop fastener to mount to a trim panel or an air duct, or

■ Wire-tying to a wire harness.

If mounting the sensor where it cannot be easily reached for adjustment, hook-and-loop fastening tape (such as

Velcro) is recommended for ease of removal for future adjustments.

NOTE: In many vehicles, tying the sensor to a steering column or screwing it to metal will result in poor sensitivity, especially at the rear of the vehicle.

locations for stinger doubleguard shock sensor

IMPORTANT! When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where this switch is located and how to disarm the system with it.

Ensure that the location you pick for the switch has sufficient clearance to the rear. The switch should be well

hidden. It should be placed so passengers or stored items (such as in a glove box or center console) cannot acci-

dentally hit it. The switch fits into a

/32-inch hole.

This system has Remote Valet. The user can enter and exit Valet® Mode without having to reach the

Valet®/Program switch. This feature was introduced so that switch location was less critical in day-to-day use.

As long as the Valet®/Program switch can be reached to disarm without a transmitter, easy access is not important.

Things to remember when positioning the Status LED:

■ It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if possible.

■ It needs at least

2-inch clearance to the rear.

■ It is easiest to remove a small panel, such as a switch blank or a dash bezel, before drilling a

32-inch hole.

■ Use quick-disconnects near the LED wires if the panel is removable. This lets mechanics or other installers

remove the panel without cutting the wires.

locations for the status LED

locations for valet/program switch

If optional starter kill relay or its connections are immediately visible upon removal of the under-dash panel,

they can easily be bypassed. Always make the relay and its connections difficult to discern from the factory

wiring! Exposed yellow butt connectors do not look like factory parts, and will not fool anyone! For this reason,

routing the optional starter kill wires away from the steering column is recommended.

The relay satellite wiring carries large amounts of current. The wires should not be extended and should be cut

to the minimum length necessary. Since the relay satellite is functioning as the ignition switch in the vehicle,

it is often convenient to mount the relay satellite close to the main ignition switch harness.

finding the wires you need

Now that you have decided where each component will be located, you’re going to find the wires in the car that

the security system will be connected to.

IMPORTANT! Do not use a 12V test light or logic probe (computer safe test light) to find these wires! Use a digital multimeter for all testing.

We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant: the (+) terminal of the battery, or the constant supply to

the ignition switch. Always install a fuse within 12 inches of this connection. If the fuse also will be powering

other circuits, such as door locks, a power window module, a Nite-Lite® headlight control system, etc., fuse

accordingly.

IMPORTANT! Do not remove the fuse holder on the red wire. It ensures that the control module has its own fuse, of the proper value, regardless of how many accessories are added to the main power feed.

obtaining constant 12V

locations for the relay satellite

locations for the optional starter kill relay

The ignition wire is powered when the key is in the run or start position. This is because the ignition wire powers

the ignition system (spark plugs, coil) as well as the fuel delivery system (fuel pump, fuel injection computer).

Accessory wires lose power when the key is in the start position to make more current available to the starter motor.

How to find (+)12V ignition with your multimeter:

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the ignition wire. The steering

column harness or ignition switch harness is an excellent place to find

this wire.

4. Turn the ignition key switch to the run position. If your meter reads

(+)12V, go to the next step. If it doesn’t, probe another wire.

5. Now turn the key to the start position. The meter display should stay steady, not dropping by more than a

few tenths of a volt. If it drops close to or all the way to zero, go back to Step 3. If it stays steady at (+)12V,

you have found an ignition wire.

The starter wire provides 12V directly to the starter or to a relay controlling the starter. In some vehicles, it is

necessary to power a cold start circuit. A cold start circuit will test exactly like a starter circuit, but it does not

control the starter. Instead, the cold start circuit is used to prime the fuel injection system for starting when the

vehicle is cold.

How to find the starter wire with your multimeter:

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the starter wire. The steering

column is an excellent place to find this wire. Remember you do not

need to interrupt the starter at the same point you test it. Hiding

your optional starter kill relay and connections is always recommended.

4. Turn the ignition key switch to the start position. Make sure the car

is not in gear! If your meter reads (+)12V, go to the next step. If it doesn’t, probe another wire.

5. Cut the wire you suspect of being the starter wire.

6. Attempt to start the car. If the starter engages, reconnect it and go back to Step 3. If the starter does not

turn over, you have the right wire.

finding the starter wire

finding the 12V switched ignition wire

An accessory wire will show +12V when the key is in the accessory and run positions. It will not show +12V during

the cranking cycle. There will often be more than one accessory wire in the ignition harness. The correct accessory

wire will power the vehicle's climate control system. Some vehicles may have separate wires for the blower motor and

the air conditioning compressor. In such cases, it will be necessary to add a relay to power the second accessory wire.

To test for a tachometer wire, a multimeter capable of testing AC voltage must be used. The tachometer wire will

show between 1V and 6V AC. In multi-coil ignition systems, the system can learn individual coil wires. Individual

coil wires in a multi-coil ignition system will register lower amounts of AC voltage. Also, if necessary, the system

can use a fuel injector control wire for engine speed sensing. Common locations for a tachometer wire are the

ignition coil itself, the back of the gauges, engine computers, and automatic transmission computers.

IMPORTANT! Do not test tachometer wires using a test light or logic probe (computer safe test light)! This will damage the vehicle.

How to find a tachometer wire with your multimeter:

1. Set to ACV or AC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Start and run the vehicle.

4. Probe the wire you suspect of being the tachometer wire with the red probe of the meter.

5. If this is the correct wire the meter will read between 1V and 6V.

In diesel vehicles it is necessary to interface with the wire that turns on the WAIT TO START light in the dash-

board. This wire illuminates the bulb until the vehicle’s glow plugs are properly heated. When the light goes out

the vehicle can be started. This wire is always available at the connector leading to the bulb in the dashboard.

It can also be found at the Engine Control Module (ECM) in many vehicles.

To test and determine the polarity of this wire:

1. Set your multimeter to DCV or DC voltage (12 or 20V is fine).

2. Attach the (+) probe of the meter to (+)12V.

3. Probe the wire that you suspect leads to the bulb with the (-) probe of the meter.

4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

5. If the meter indicates 12 volts until the light goes out you have isolated the correct wire and the wire's polar-

ity is negative (ground while the bulb is on).

6. If the meter reads zero volts until the light goes out and then reads 12 volts, you have isolated the correct

wire and the wire's polarity is positive.

finding the accessory wire

The (+) parking light wire is often found near the switch. Many cars have the switch built into the turn signal

lever, and in these cars the parking light wire can be found in the steering column. The same wire is often avail-

able in the kick panel or running board.

NOTE: Many Toyotas, as well as many other Asian vehicles, send a (-) signal from the switch to a relay. The relay then sends (+)12V to the bulbs. Whenever you have difficulty finding a (+) parking light wire near the switch, simply test the wires at any switch or control panel which is lit by the instrument panel lighting. Remember, you need a (+) parking light wire that does not vary with the dimmer setting.

How to find a (+) parking light flash wire with your multimeter:

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the parking light wire. Usually, the area near the headlight/parking light

switch is an excellent area to start, as is the kick panel.

4. Turn on the parking lights. If your meter shows (+)12V, turn off the parking lights and make sure it goes back

to zero.

5. If it does return to zero, turn the parking lights back on and, using the dash light dimmer control, turn the

brightness of the dash lights up and down. If the meter changes more than a volt when using the dimmer,

look for another wire. If it stays relatively close to (+)12V, you have found your parking light wire.

The best places to find the door switch wire are:

■ At the pin switch: When testing at the pin switch, check the wire to ensure that it “sees” all the doors. Often,

the passenger switch will cover all the doors even if the driver’s switch will not.

■ At the dome light: This may not be your best choice if the vehicle has delayed domelight supervision, but it

will work in many Hondas, or any vehicle with completely diode-isolated pin switches.

finding the door pin switch circuit

finding a (+) parking light wire

Once you have determined the wire color, the easiest place to connect to the wire is often at the kick panel, at

the windshield pillar, or in the running board. When an easy location is not available, running a wire to the dome-

light itself is often the best solution.

How to find a door pin switch trigger wire with your multimeter:

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. In most Fords, fasten the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground. In most other cars, fasten the (+) probe

of your meter to (+)12V constant.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the door trigger wire. If the meter reads (+)12V when any door

is opened, you have found a trigger wire.

NOTE: Make sure the wire you use “sees” all the doors! Some newer GM vehicles lack standard-type pin switches. The dome light in these vehicles is turned on when the door handle is lifted. These usually have a blue/white or white wire coming out of the door into the kick panel which will provide a (-) trigger for all doors. Some GM vehicles (some Cavaliers, Grand Ams, etc.) have a yellow wire coming out of the door which provides a (+) door trigger.

making your wiring connections

Before making your connections, plan how your wires will be routed through the vehicle. For instance, the red

12V constant input and the orange ground-when-armed output (for the optional starter kill relay) will often be

routed together to the ignition switch harness. In order to keep the wiring neat and make it harder to find, you

may wish to wrap these wires together in electrical tape or conceal them in tubing similar to what the manu-

facturer used.

There are two acceptable ways of making a wire connection - solder connections and crimp connectors. When

properly performed, either type of connection is reliable and trouble-free. Regardless of whether you solder your

connections or you use mechanical-type crimp-on connections, ensure that all connections are mechanically

sound and that they are insulated.

Cheap electrical tape, especially when poorly applied, is not a reliable insulator. It often falls off in hot weather.

Use good-quality electrical tape or heat shrink.

■ Never twist-and-tape the wires together without soldering.

■ Never use “fuse taps”, as they can damage fuse box terminals.

If you use tapping connectors such as 3M T-Taps (not to be confused with Scotch-Locks), avoid using them in

higher-current applications (constant 12V, ground, etc.). Some tapping connectors are inferior in quality and

should be avoided.

This wire supplies a (-)500 mA ground as long as the system is armed. This output ceases as soon as the system

is disarmed. The orange wire may be wired to an optional DEI® 8618 starter kill relay.

As shipped, this wire should be connected to the (+) parking light wire. If the light flash polarity jumper under

the sliding door is moved to the opposite position (see Internal Programming Jumper section of this guide), this

wire supplies a (-) 200 mA output. This is suitable for driving (-) light control wires in Toyota, Lexus, BMW, some

Mitsubishi, some Mazda, and other model cars.

A momentary input on this wire will start or stop the motor, just as transmitting Channel 3 from the remote trans-

mitter does. It is often connected to an optional momentary push-button switch to make access to Valet Take

Over Mode and Timer Mode more convenient.

Connect this wire to the optional domelight supervision relay as shown below:

IMPORTANT! This output is only intended to drive a relay. It cannot be connected directly to the domelight circuit, as the output cannot support the current draw of one or more light bulbs.

Most vehicles use negative door trigger circuits. Connect the green wire to a wire which shows ground when any

door is opened. In vehicles with factory delays on the domelight circuit, there is usually a wire that is unaffected

by the delay circuitry. This wire will report Zone 3.

green wires of the optional sensor to this input. This wire will report Zone 4.

This wire is used in vehicles that have a positive (+) switched dome light circuit. Connect the violet wire to a

wire that shows (+)12V when any door is opened, and ground when the door is closed. This wire will report Zone 3.

Remove any paint and connect this wire to bare metal, preferably with a factory bolt rather than your own screw.

(Screws tend to either strip or loosen with time.) We recommend grounding all your components, including the

siren, to the same point in the vehicle.

Connect this wire to the 86 terminal of an optional starter kill relay.
